NPR did a nice piece on Jobs.
First woodstove fire of the season, yay! I brought all the plants in. Snow in the mountains expected, and it may get down to 6500 feet ( we're at 6010).
Time for some thrilling heroics.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
It constantly ripped out my heart, stomped on it, shoved it back in, and then... again
Ah, Netflix. Allows me to relive the rollercoaster.

we're at 6010
Wow, we're only at 4600 feet, but we're at the foot of a mountain that's 11,749 feet. 7000 feet doesn't really look like that much when you're looking up the street at it, though it is a very impressive hunk of granite.

I haven't. But it looks like everything thru 9 is on Instant, so I can catch up!

Arrgg. Can't sleep. After tossing and turning for a while, I organized a corner of my room. Old CDs and empty cases are now cleaned up. I want to sleep but I kinda want to tackle a couple of other piles of junk.

Sad about Steve Jobs and the ending of that era.
My daughter woke me at 5:30 with, "I need to play with my trains. Come on, Mommy." So, we played with trains. Who's in charge, again? I always forget.
My nephew broke his collar bone yesterday, so for the next six weeks he cannot play music or play frisbee. That is pretty much is whole college experience right there, so he is really bummed. Technically, he's a math major, but one doesn't really go to East Tennessee State for the math, one goes for the Bluegrass.

ita !, so sorry to hear about your mother's preliminary diagnosis. Here's hoping that the details turn out to be favorable.
Speaking of Moms, I have to get packed and down to PA today for a long long weekend. Talked to my brother last night, and they took her to a hospital yesterday but she checked out OK, just dehydrated and low on potassium. (This is with my aunt staying with her to try to make sure she drinks and eats and takes her meds. SIGH.)

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Hey Alexander Graham Bell, I'm real proud of you and imma let you finish but Steve Jobs invented the best phone of all time.

Sad about Steve Jobs. Definitely.
ita, I'm sorry to hear about your mom. Is there anything you need or I can do?
Chilly this morning so I am sweater/turtleneck wearing. It's much easier to get up and go when it's warm when I wake.
